Expecting a strong gallop with Tricky Mikki and Zoumist taking up the running over Mr Marrakech. DEVILS DELIGHT (1) can be faulted with his consistency since winning here in November last year. Having his races well-spaced agrees with him, and he is the one to beat again. TRICKY MIKKI (4) is resuming from a spell, and she is usually honest when fit. She can make full use of the pole position, and if ready, she can give this a shake. TYQUENDO (8) had an excuse last time out and will be over that issue and peaking at the right time third up. Stick with her. SHECANMIXIT (3) won 2 races in a row prior to a last-start fifth when getting bogged down on the inside. She is well worth another chance after a freshen up. ZOUMIST (5) strips fitter after a fresh up third, and she is expected to improve quickly with racing. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Devils Delight to win.
